I am wondering if the card is set to mute by default. I remember this happening a lot when I messed around with some Linux distro’s on my systems. If you go to device manager and look at the list of components, check to see if the card is enabled or disabled and then see if the output is muted.

Well that is a good ending to your current woes. Glad it sorted it out. Oh don't get me started on PAL/NTSC issues. I work in the broadcast industry and it continues to be a headache. It is better than the analog days though. I really need to revisit my games and test to see for any issues I would …

So way back in the early nineties, I bought a bunch of games in California (NTSC) while working a gap year job. When I returned to Cape Town in South Africa (PAL), they all worked fine on my Amiga 500+ with no modifications needed. I don’t know if any of them were running at 60Hz, but they all …

Everyone's latched onto recycling, forgetting the saying goes: reduce, reuse, recycle - in decreasing order of effectiveness. Reducing consumption is very threatening to the current organisation of the world. Exactly!!! My wife and have friends we know who think they are doing the earth a good …

Thanks mbliss11. It was a pet project done during lock down. Like lots of us, I got my kit out of the cupboard and started using them. Regarding the memory disable switch, I really think that is for a very small subset of early Amiga games. I put it in as I had a switch on the board so it was a …

So I got the board from someone on RMC Retro's Discord. I then pretty much had to buy the components with enough to make at least three of them, but I really wanted to make just one and get it working first and the extra components were insurance if I mucked it up. I should see how much this cost, I …

I have only just started my project. Got the HAT soldered up. MT32.jpg This thread has given me some great ideas. Love the thought of it sitting inside my PC and being able to route the audio out from the SB or MT32 to my speakers with a flick of a switch. Think I am going to need to get a display …

that's something that you'll only notice on developed countries for the most part in other countries like where i live (Argentina) is far more common to see people still using older machines, older or slower phones and so on in some places, things look good or even absurd, and in others it's absurd …

Totally agree. It does not help that we have frameworks on top of frameworks on top of frameworks etc.

Really interesting thread this. I have a newbie question. Other than the MT32 and SC55, how many of these were specifically aimed at the games market? Once the GM standard came about, I guess you could use any module, but they were designed as music making instruments first right?

So I have a usb card that came with my trash pc I found. Mice work great in windows 98, but I have not tried DOS yet. If it does work, would that be an option for you?

That is good to know Gmlb256.

Thought I would show you the results of my A500 mods. It might give you some ideas. I have a Gotek inside the machine and the original floppy. One of the switches toggles between the two. The other switch enables and disables the ram expansion. The button is for the menu for the RGB2HDMI. And you …

I have the CD for the 4830 if you would like the drivers that came with the card. Just used it on a 98 machine and seems to be working well.

Hi vkcpolice. I have just finished restoring and updating my A500. If your aim is to play games and mess with software from the day, you really can stay with the original kickstart and OS that came with your machine. There is no real benefit to upgrading, you actually will introduce slight …
